Abstract

God exists, and indeed, God does exist in the minds of those who critically comprehend the inimitability of the Quranic verses. This book delivers the power of philosophy of the Arabic grammar as a tool in demonstrating the refutation of the most pronounced and frequent arguments postulated by atheism, which are inconsistent with God’s revelation. It also looks into the debate on the role of religious belief in education from the Islamic viewpoint. The rationale of delving into this debate is the silent but growing rejection of role of religion in educating future generation among Muslims themselves who have taken the position that religious education has failed and has only exacerbated the lack of economic, social and political progress in the Muslim world. Islamic intellectual revivalism, especially cloaked in Arabic-centric world rather than Western-oriented, is under constant attack within and outside the realm of humanizing education. For Muslims, the existence of God or a Single Lone Creator is beyond doubt or debate solely based on the inimitability of the Quran. This book takes up the argument that Arabic grammar refutes the idea of non-existent divinity promulgated by atheism since the Holy Book has been consistent linguistically and philosophically in demonstrating that God is one and permanent. Thus, the primary objective of this book is to facilitate the understanding of the connection between philosophy and Arabic grammar as a means to understand man’s existence and his place in the cosmic universe. In other words, why was man created? And to what purpose does his existence serve? It could not be for naught, merely to exist and inevitably decompose into dust. Therefore, this book argues that Arabic grammar with its reliance on deep contemplation is ultimately connected to issues of metaphysics.
